Distribution: Strand acquires Darker

Strand Releasing has picked up all US rights to Matt Porterfield’s I Used To Be Darker [pictured]. Separately, Variance Films and FilmBuff are teaming up to release The History Of Future Folk.

Porterfield’s third feature premiered at Sundance and stars Deragh Campbell as a runaway from Northern Ireland who seeks refuge with her aunt and uncle, who are in the middle of a marital crisis. Kim Taylor and Ned Oldham also star.

New Europe Film Sales represents international rights and Strand has set an autumn release after negotiating the deal with George Rush on behalf of the film-makers.
